CANADA – Asylum seekers coming through Montreal airport in record numbers
WATCH: Roxham Road, an unofficial border crossing once popular with asylum seekers, was permanently closed in 2023. But as advocates predicted, they have found another way to enter Canada. As Global’s Gloria Henriquez reports, a record number of asylum seekers are arriving in the country via Montreal’s Trudeau airport.
In 2021, Quebec received 10,085 requests, compared to 59,740 in 2023.
Quebec claims to be “close to the breaking point” & On Jan. 31, Miller announced Quebec will receive $100 million of the total investment of $362 million.
